MediaWiki supports the following database systems:

~~MariaDB is the primary target for MediaWiki and is best supported. MediaWiki also works with MySQL and Percona Server, which are MariaDB compatible. (How to compile PHP with MySQL support) ???~~ TO USE - YOU MUST HAVE A VIRTUAL PRIVATE SERVER ON DREAMHOST!

Connect to a database via SSH

PostgreSQL is a popular open source database system as an alternative to MySQL. (How to compile PHP with PostgreSQL support)

SQLite is a lightweight database system that is very well supported. (How to compile PHP with SQLite support, uses PDO)

If you do not see the database system you are trying to use listed below, then follow the instructions linked above to enable support.

Second

Enable your web server to share your MediaWiki install with all wikis. For multiple (sub)domains, have your web server accept connections from all the relevant domains. For multiple subdirectories, you could use rewrite rules, aliases, or symlinks.

This LISTEN call tells the TCP⁄IP address space that the server is ready to begin accepting connections.

By specifying the correct IP address for each (sub)domain on the DNS server, each domain will point to the same web server.

For multiple (sub)domains, you can use "listen" on the multiple server names. For multiple subdirectories, you could use: rewrite rules, aliases, or symlinks.

When the server is operational after start up, the means of communication in or/and out (ports, sockets...) are open to receive or send requests to other servers.

"Listening" is to wait for a command on an input port and process it. There is general information about servers on Linux, Apache, or others.

In a farm of wikis servers exchange messages to each other. Of course they know each other the configuration of the network for that.
